he is saying that he went past a guy with a multi coloured helmet going the other way at 153kph.....and the one waiting for me up the road asked how many other bikes were on the road that I saw.....I said 'plenty'......then the one that claimed to have seen/clocked me came back and said....yeah that's him. I said 'whatever'......they then said I could ride the bike home....and asked how long it'd take.....they didn't see the funny side when I said...."well, at the speed you accused me of doing, about 15 mins"

Clivoris here.
Crasherfromwayback I'm really sorry to hear of your woe. Speed kills the licence bro. But well you know.

OK sounds like you do have some reasonable defence over accuracy of identification.

One of the many reasons I decided years ago that road racing is where it's at Bruva!

Then 'radar readings' are a good thing if you top them!

Absolutely Merv...as if I'd ride a motorcycle on public roads at those sorts of speeds.

Hey thanks for coming everyone , it was a good night!
Pete - gutted- fight that one to the death mate

**merv** · 27th January 2007, 23:12

... and on an unmodified cruiser at that, what was the cop thinking? There must have been some damn Ghost Rider type on a Suzuki or something blitzing along as it couldn't have been you.

Thanks to you for hosting us.

We were lucky the weather was great, not like it was when we had the last ride and then BBQ at Paul and Vicky's with Garry H having to don his beanie in these pics http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21180

Indeed it was...and thanks again...love your place!

I'll fight it alright.....but I might have to walk to the courthouse!

Funny you should say that Merv....I did point to the name on the tank...
Still, there are plenty of 'hoons' out there with multi coloured helmets fully prepared to break the law......I fail to see why I should be lumped in with 'them'!

Great evening, thanks Sels.

Thanks Selwyn & Claire Fun night

Oh and how great did that mysterious fully leathered rider look on a Ginny

Bugger, I had to go to work today to tidy up stock take.
If we didn't have surprise visitors last night... and I hadn't got into the tequila quite so much... and didn't arrive at work 7 hours late today.... still with a sore head.... maybe I would have made it to the BBQ!

Thanks for the photos!!! Wish we could've made it. Funny, I thought I had met a good majority of Welly KBers, but looking at those photos I only recognised a handful of peeps! Sounds like it was a good night, but do tell, how was the Haggis?
That sucks the big kumara about the license Pete!
